– The adventures of a solo round the world cyclist –

Day 500 (Thailand Day 47)

My editing work is complete and the video is on YouTube I advertised via a newsletter as well as through Instagram and Facebook. It got more than 30 views in the first hour. Having completed my video, today was more relaxing than previous days. I woke up early to go for a ride with Neo around the neighbourhood. All six of us ate lunch together, then I showed Nun and the kids my camping gear. Somehow we all ended up having a nap in my room. In the evening we all went to Neo and Cake’s swimming training and then out to a restaurant for dinner. It was a Japanese restaurant where you can prepare your own meal. On your table are hot plates, which keep your choice of soup hot. You order what meats you want and help yourself to a buffet of vegetables. Then you cook and meat and vegetables in the soup and proceed to eat as much as possible, leaving space for the all-you-can-eat dessert buffet. Before the day ended, I gifted the family with a drawing and handwritten thank you letter. It has been such a wonderful experience to live with them and I will forever be incredibly grateful.

Welcome to my diary!

In pursuit of a dream, I left my home in Western Australia and began cycling around the world. I write in my diary every night so that one day I can look back on my journey and relive those precious moments I would otherwise not remember. What motivates me to keep up a daily diary?
